Amino Acid 3D Printer ---> Synthetic Peptides & Synthetic Antibodies?

in medical-science •  2 years ago 

"Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. All proteins are made up of different arrangements of the same 20 amino acids."
https://rwu.pressbooks.pub/bio103/chapter/amino-acids-and-proteins/

"the antigen to which the immune system responds is a relatively small number of amino acids or peptide."
https://www.who.int/teams/health-product-policy-and-standards/standards-and-specifications/vaccine-standardization/synthetic-peptide-vaccines

"Synthetic peptide immunogens have been shown to elicit antibodies that can react with full-length proteins containing that peptide."
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6357058/

"Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system in response to an infection or vaccination"

"Synthetic antibody libraries are developed using designed synthetic DNA that enables highly optimized human frameworks and introduces defined chemical diversity to prevent highly likely to recognize antigens. Using a simple design based on a single human framework that restricts diversity to four complementarity-determining positions and two amino acids(tyrosine and serine), synthetic antibody libraries can create particular antibodies against various protein antigens.

Moreover, a more complex synthetic antibody library can be developed to produce antibodies with high affinities and specificities beyond natural antibodies capacity."

"Antibodies that recognize intact proteins can be produced through the use of synthetic peptides based on short stretches of the protein sequence, without first having to isolate the protein."
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18265297/

"Synthetic antibodies can be used in all applications where traditional monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies are used and offer many inherent advantages over animal-derived antibodies, including comparatively low production costs, reagent reproducibility and increased affinity, specificity and stability across a range of experimental conditions.[3]"
